Oh, it's absolutely tragic what's happening in St. Lambert. I went into CRU - Bar à Huîtres expecting a delightful disaster-because really, who trusts a seafood bar in a quiet suburban town?-& they had the audacity to be actually competent.
Here is a review for those who enjoy being'suffocated' by quality.
A Suburban Tragedy: My Evening at CRU
If you're looking for a place where the staff ignores you & the food tastes like a lukewarm freezer bag, stay far away from CRU. I was fully prepared to hate-watch an oyster bar in St. Lambert, but the staff ruined my cynical mood by being-wait for it-friendly & efficient. The absolute nerve of this place:
The Cutlery Crisis: They actually changed our utensils after every single course. Apparently, using the same fork for your appetizer & your dessert is'too much to ask' for these people.
The Staff Overload: There were basically two people per table. I felt so judged by their constant attention & seamless service. It's a small, elegant space, so you can't even hide from the professionalism.
The'Inedible' Highlights
We started with a seafood platter that was a total eyesore. Gravlax, shrimp, salmon tartare, oysters, & caviar? It was a colorful nightmare of'freshness.' Then came the Caesar salad. I hope you like the taste of'perfectly balanced lemon' &'homemade dressing,' because that's the torture I had to endure.
The Main Courses were even worse:
The Crab Sabotage: One friend ordered the oyster pasta, & because they knew it was her birthday, they buried it under a mountain of extra crab meat. How am I supposed to see my pasta under all that free, high-quality seafood?
The Tortellini Trauma: The veal tortellini came in a creamy, spicy sauce, & the portions were'huge.' It's like they want you to be full & satisfied. The tortellini à la vodka with burrata was equally offensive in its deliciousness.
The Final Blow: Heart Attack City
By the time dessert arrived, I was ready to call my lawyer.
The Crème Brûlée: Served in a bowl the size of a small swimming pool.
The Apple Cinnamon Doughnut Thing: They take French doughnut dough, stuff it with apples, drench it in caramel & heavy cream, & then expect you to just go home? I couldn't even sleep that night because I was busy hallucinating about cinnamon.
The Verdict: $349 for three people, including drinks, tax, & tip. For that price, you get an incredible meal, top-tier service, & a complete lack of things to complain about.
I'll be going back, obviously, but only so I can continue to suffer through their excellence. Highly NOT recommended if you enjoy mediocre experiences.
One of the best seafood restaurants near Montreal. It is only about 15-20 min drive from downtown.
We were there for a year end team dinner with a reservation, so we did not have to wait.
The food was delicious & fresh. We were all happy with our orders. There are options for vegetarian people & also meat on the menu although it is a seafood restaurants.
CRU has a nice menu selection, & everything looked real appetizing. I'll definitely go back to taste other items on the menu. The plates were generous so none of us could have dessert.
Great service by friendly staff.
It is definitely worth a detour!
Had lunch with wife & her colleagues. Ordered from the table d'hôte where a three course meal is proposed. Soup & salad were delicious. I also loved my bavette (beef), but my wife did not find the salmon tartare that good (she's had better). Dessert (pain doré) was exquisite. Great service, too. Would recommend.
Hier soir, le 5 août 2025, j'ai été souper au Cru pour la première fois. Or assurément, ça ne sera pas la dernière! J'ai tout adoré: L'ambiance, la terrasse & chaque plat incluant les huîtres & le dessert & surtout le tartare de thon servi sur une galette de riz frit. Aussi, notre serveur, Benjamin, un jeune homme hyper sympathique, aura été un maillon crucial à cette belle soirée réussi!
La nourriture était tout simplement exceptionnel, de l'entrée jusqu'au dessert. Le service était digne d'un cinq étoile & l'atmosphère était relaxe & calme.
Je ne donne pas souvent 5 étoiles & je ne pensais pas en donner à ce restaurant, mais je m'avoue vaincu, tout était super! La carte des vins est impeccable, les plats sont soignés & diversifiés, le service est personnalisé. Nous étions un petit groupe de 6 & tout a été super. Seul hic, j'ai aimé l'entrée de tartare façon "sushi pizza", mais j'aurais pris un peu moins de friture. Mention spéciale aux desserts qui étaient sublimes.
I went there for my friend's birthday. Food was amazing! I have nothing to say about that. We had a variety of appetizers & all were amazing. (We weren't fans of the calamari, but it was edible) the shrimps as appetizers were just perfect! I have nothing to say about the food. My only issue is that the service was slow. It took a while before taking out drinks order, before filling water, for the receipt. But other than that, our server was super nice & sweet! They even offered us a few desserts since it was our friend's birthday ❤️

Excellent food & service , you gave us a great table & thank you for the birthday dessert on the house very nice we do not see this to often we will be back & we have told many friends about our experience & sent the photo of the great food
We had reserved a private room for a birthday dinner. The staff was excellent, attentive quick & kind. The food was outstanding. Had oysters, tartare, burrata & dessert one of those restaurants that always hits the spot.

The food was very good. Tasty & well presented. BUT: Our server was good but she had too many tables to serve. It took 20 minutes to get our apero & way too long between the entrees & the main dish. We understand the 2 services by night but then, we were rushed to leave the place because the 8h30 reservation was arrived. No time for a dessert or a coffee. Given the price paid, it's certainly not a good approach. Put more staff or extend the time between services. Overall, we had a great evening.

Tout était délicieux: lobster roll, loup de mer, accompagnements & desserts impeccables. Seul hic, c'est cher. Mais chaudement recommandé!

Super belle soirée au Restaurant CRU - Bar à Huîtres. La nourriture était plus que délicieuse, le service impeccable & l'ambiance vraiment agréable. Les portions sont généreuses, les huîtres étaient vraiment incroyables & que dire du gâteau au fromage avec colis de framboises. Nous n'avions plus faim, mais nous avons quand même pris un dessert. Très beau restaurant intime & vraiment un très bon service!

Absolute wonderful service! So attentive & gave us a special dessert for our anniversary. The food was also incredible!

Service impeccable, souriant & attentionné. La nourriture était préparé avec soin & c'était délicieux: de l'entrée au dessert.

Service professionnel & les plats, de l'entrée au dessert, étaient excellents!

Excellent accueil & excellente cuisine, petit bémol sur les desserts. Très bonne adresse

Dès notre arrivée, l'accueil à la réception, du service à la table, de la courtoisie du personnel, l'explication du menu, la recommandation du vin. Tout était extra. Ma conjoint & moi, on soulignait l'anniversaire de naissance ma belle-mère, son 85e anniversaire. Le responsable a terminé le repas avec une attention (dessert) bien appréciée. Mention spéciale à Simon.

Ç'était notre première visite chez Cru, je voulais souligner l'anniversaire de mon mari. Pour l'occasion la maison nous a offert un verre de mousseux & un dessert, nous avons apprécié ces délicatesses. Nos repas étaient impeccables: les huîtres; les pétoncles; les poissons; & les vins, tout était parfait. Le service est remarquable, attentionné & professionnel & l'ambiance conviviale. Nous y retournerons sûrement!

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée. Nous avions envie de manger de huîtres crues, nous avons été bien servis. Une belle variété, excellentes au goût, d'une grande fraîcheur. Tellement qu'on en a redemandé! Comme je sortais mon père, j'avais demandé une table tranquille, ils ont très bien répondu à ma demande & ce fut grandement apprécié.
Le tartare de boeuf en entrée, pour celles qui ne mangeaient pas d'huîtres, était excellent. Nous avions 2 plats de pâtes, 2 plats d'Omble de Chevalier (poisson). Tout le monde a apprécié. En ajoutant le vin, au verre, les cafés, les desserts, c'est là qu'on doit apportez un portefeuille bien garni.
Mais comprenez-moi bien, tout était excellent & le service, très aimable. Le prix, je savais que ça serait plus haut que la normale mais comme les dépenses personnelles de la colonne Restaurant dans les derniers 18 mois ont été à peu près nulles, il était temps qu'on se paie du bonheur!
